Realizing that the other party was not arranged through His Majesty the King, but had other ways of sneaking in, Bulwer felt relieved.
"I was really in a not sober state at the time..."
He truthfully told Ecos what happened to him.
"Hmm. On the way to track down the pig man, he was led into that house and then lost consciousness?" Wayne pondered.
If it weren't Wayne who was standing here now, but other third parties who didn't know the inside story, it would be easy to think that Bulwer was lying.
But Wayne understood that there was no need for him to tell lies in front of him.
He immediately suspected the guard who came to notify Bulwer.
"Have you never seen the guard who delivered the message before?" he asked.
Under Wayne's guidance, Bulwer couldn't help but show hesitation when he remembered what happened last night.
"Although I don't know each other, I don't necessarily remember what the faces of all the city guards look like... Moreover, for the search, many patrol guards of the lowest level were mobilized, some of whom I may not have encountered since I took office. noodle."
He actually didn't doubt the guard very much, because as an ordinary civilian, it was impossible for him to be so bold.
What's more, the guard did not run away with a guilty conscience, but stayed as one of the witnesses.
Bulwer knew that this situation was very unfavorable to him.
"May I ask, what is His Majesty the King's attitude towards this matter now?" He was a little uneasy when he asked this question.
In fact, he wanted to ask why His Majesty the King hadn't come to see him yet.
Being locked up here all the time and receiving no news always made him suspicious whether the king had discovered something or whether he no longer trusted him.
"I guess he is still partial to you now." Wayne said thoughtfully, "But he is also partial to Earl Chapman."
Lord Bulwer, who took bribes from Chapman, was responsible for the security of the entire royal capital... Did he really not know what shady things Earl Chapman was doing behind his back?
Bulwer frowned, "Didn't you say that the two parties are just cousins? Moreover, there has been no news that the two parties are close to each other before."
In order to improve the interpersonal relationship with the royal capital's senior officials, Bulwer had worked very hard before this. The twists and turns of the relationships among the major families are all treasured by him.
Wayne recounted the past story that Duke Elliot had told him.
"Sometimes just because we don't interact with each other on the surface doesn't mean we can just watch the other person die," he said.
"If Chapman really doesn't care about the life and death of that family, His Majesty the King will not always treat you coldly."
According to Wayne's guess, it was probably because the king believed that Bulwer was innocent, but at the same time could not let him go casually because of Chapman, so the decision was so hesitant.
After hearing Echos's analysis, Bulwer actually believed more than half of it.
He frowned and said to himself: "In this case, I have to be prepared."
Before that, he was worried about whether he would be caught, but judging from the news brought in by Ecos, things did not develop to the worst point.
"Your Excellency, can you do me a favor?" Bulwer turned around and asked him, "Bring me a message to Mrs. Cherry. I introduced it to you once."
Wayne thought of the noble lady who was passionate about painting.
"Well, what do you want to say?"
…
After leaving the place where Bulwer was imprisoned, Wayne continued to meet with Deev as planned.
It was somewhat different from what he expected. Although Diff looked haggard, he did not appear panicked or restless.
In contrast, it was Wayne's appearance that scared him.
From Bulwer's statement, Wayne already knew that Dave deliberately made his appearance that night into a scene where he accidentally bumped into the "Pig Man".
However, Vane did not expose Diff's lies in front of Bulwer.
"What? After using my convenience to hook up with a big shot, you don't even recognize me as your benefactor?"
Although the face cannot be seen with the mask on, it is not difficult to tell that the other person is not in a happy mood just by judging by his tone of voice.
Seeing the cloaked man appear again, Difu was stunned for a moment.
"You...how did you get in?" he asked.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that." Wayne replied coldly.
He stretched out his right hand towards Diff, and the magic power spurted out instantly became real.
Dev only felt a giant invisible hand pinching his neck, making him unable to breathe.
It seemed that with just one more twist, his life would be decided here.
The shadow of death was approaching again, and his eyes were full of despair.
After threatening him a little, Wayne let him go and restored his ability to move freely.
"Huha...ha..."
Dave slumped to the ground, breathing heavily.
"I ask, you answer." Wayne said coldly.
High-pressure methods naturally have the convenience of high-pressure methods. For Difu, all hopes and prosperity are based on the fact that he is still alive.
It can be said that as much as he desires to be in a high position, he is afraid of death.
Although it is noticed that there are still some inaccuracies in Deef's words, by comparing his confession with Bulwer, it is still possible to reconstruct what probably happened at that time.
As Wayne thought, there is indeed room for manipulation by a third party.
As long as you arrange it in advance, you can even kill those people yourself and then blame Bulwer.
After all, the only magic power fluctuation left by Bulwer at the scene was already the result of subsequent calculations. In fact, it is entirely possible that the victim was killed by conventional means before that time.
At the exact moment he entered the room, Bulwer himself lost consciousness, so he couldn't remember whether he had done anything, and there was no way to judge the facts.
If the purpose is inferred from the results, then the other party's intention should be: to relieve Bulwer from his post and make him and Chapman enemies.
From the current situation in the capital, who can benefit the most from this matter?
For some reason, Simon's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
is it him?
According to the kingdom's old rules, the control of the city guard has never been under the name of a foreigner. It is equivalent to saying that Simon benefited the most from this incident.
If this is not His Majesty the King's whim, but his deliberate guidance from behind...it can be said that there is at least 80% chance that Simon is very problematic.
